"Yuan Yi, get ready to go on stage."
Li Gang walked up to Yuan Yi and said to him.
"Yes, Commander."
The system, Gou Dan'er, has already prepared the accompaniment for him; he just needs to plug the USB drive into the computer to play it.
Therefore, there's no need for a band or chorus, etc.
The main reason was that he was in a rush; otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered singing this song.
Yuan Yi walked to the stage in the banquet hall.
The people below were clinking glasses and chatting.
The leaders of the State Council and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were also talking with officials from Xiaomeizi's side.
The accompaniment for Yuan Yi's rendition of "My Motherland" this time was not the original version, but a rearranged version with a male high-pitched vocal.
The opening accompaniment featured a saxophone, and the resounding horn sound immediately filled the entire banquet hall.
At first listen, it sounds like a bugle call echoing.
"A wide river flows, its waves ripple, and the wind carries the fragrance of rice blossoms to both banks."
"My home is on the shore, and I'm used to hearing the boatmen's calls and seeing the white sails on the boats."
"This is my beautiful motherland, the place where I grew up."
"Beautiful scenery is everywhere on this vast land."
"The girl is as beautiful as a flower, and the young man has such a broad mind."
"To open up new worlds, it awakened the slumbering mountains and changed the course of the rivers."
"This is the motherland of heroes, the place where I was born and raised."
"Youthful energy is everywhere on this ancient land."
"Beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, beautiful places—every road is wide and spacious."
"We welcome friends with fine wine, but if jackals come, we'll greet them with hunting rifles."
When Yuan Yi started singing, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
Everyone looked at Yuan Yi, who was wearing a green military uniform, on the stage.
Leaders of the State Council, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and members of the delegation attending the visit.
Listening to Yuan Yi's song performance on stage, his expression involuntarily softened.
They seemed to have thought of something, and then their faces showed a look of reminiscence.
A song is only a little over three minutes long, and within those three minutes...
The entire venue was completely silent, except for the sound of Yuan Yi singing on stage.
Everyone seemed to be captivated by the song.
Until Yuan Yi finished his performance and left the stage!
Countless rounds of applause erupted in the arena.
Zhou Lin, the Vice Premier of the State Council, smiled and said to Minister Wang Xiang beside him, "This song is good. It seems that I have heard quite a few songs praising the martyrs recently."
Minister Wang laughed after hearing what the leader said.
"You've heard the news too?"
"The dancers who just came on stage are the same ones I told you about who sang 'The Big Sword Cuts Down on the Heads of the Japanese Devils' at the Japanese music festival!"
Upon hearing Minister Wang's words, the leaders of the State Council were also taken aback.
"Has it been incorporated into our song and dance troupe?"
Wang Xiang smiled and nodded, then whispered to the leader about Yuan Yi's performance of four songs praising the motherland and the ancestors that night, as well as his contribution to the space agency's completion of the war song.
"good!!"
The song "My Motherland" doesn't have a very clear target.
If we don't consider the movie "Shangganling" in context, the lyrics alone express the soldiers' boundless love for their motherland and hometown, as well as their heroic spirit.
There were other programs coming up, and it seemed like the two sides were going head-to-head.
Every time they sing songs praising the motherland and military songs, the girls will sing the same song.
During the banquet, neither side showed any sign of courtesy or deference.
It was just a banquet, but it almost caused a real fight between the two sides on stage.
When the banquet ended, Li Gang was summoned to the side of the leader.
Everyone returned to their hotel rooms.
Over the next few days, the main task was to plan the leaders' visit to Xiao Meizi.
Of course, what was discussed was not Yuan Yi's concern; what he cared about was the music performance three days later.
This is naturally part of the visit, which is to promote Chinese culture abroad.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and the syllable performance officially began.
The General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe and the China Symphony Orchestra collaborated to showcase Chinese songs, dances, symphonies, solo performances, and more to foreigners.
The stage for this performance is located at the Northwest National Theatre on Pennsylvania Avenue, which is a very beautiful building.
Compared to our National Theater in China, it's like a sparrow, and the facilities inside aren't the best either.
Fortunately, it was located in a bustling area, and with Xiaomeizi's promotion, it was able to attract attention.
On the day of the performance, there were still quite a few girls in the theater.
Of course, the majority of them are Chinese.
During the past week, Yuan Yi has become familiar with some of the staff in the symphony orchestra and the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe.
In particular, the symphony orchestra led by Shao Hua first met Yuan Yi when they were urgently recalled to record "The Song of Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace".
They had only heard of him before, but had never met him in person. It was only during the centennial celebration that they finally met Yuan Yi in person.
At the time, due to the event being held at the venue, there weren't many opportunities to get to know each other.
This time, we had seven days together, and we had a lot in common to talk about, which actually improved our relationship quite a bit.
His relationship with Yuan Yi was much closer than that with the contract members of the General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe.
The main reason was that Yuan Yi's musical knowledge, his ability to play various musical instruments, and even his impressive conducting skills captivated them.
